Phil,
A Spridget from Minnesota with minor rust? I thought that was an oxymoron.
This car should either be a museum piece or sent back to England so
Abingdon can disect it to see what they did wrong.

I know nothing about this car, I just happened across this on the Minnesota
Autocross list. Don't ask me - see the phone number at the bottom.
Might make a starting point for a spec Sprite racer?
